Awesome Pumpkin Protein Bars



Recommended Posts

Heres my criteria for Protein bars:

- more grams of protein than carbs

- no added sugar

- low in fat

- under 150 cal

- gluten/grain free

- 17 grams protein per bar

pumpkin Protein Bars

makes 9 bars

gluten/grain free, sugar free, low in carbs and calories, and of course high in protein!

4 TBS coconut flour

3/4 cup vanilla Protein powder

2 teaspoons cinnamon

nutmeg and pumpkin pie spice to your preference [i used 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, 2 t of p.p spice]

1 teaspoon baking powder

pinch of salt

6 egg whites

1 cup pumpkin puree

1.5 t vanilla extract

stevia to taste [ I used fresh vanilla bean]Mix dry ingredients in a bowl (flour –> salt).

Mix wet ingredients in separate bowl (egg whites, pumpkin, vanilla, stevia).

Add wet to dry.

Spray 8×8 pan, and bake for 30 minutes at 350F

Love it!! I know whats going into the bar, and I can control the sugar amount. In this case: none!

After cooling in the pan, I cut into 9 bars, wrapped them up and put them in the fridge so they last for the week. If you try these let me know how they come out!

Love this. Will be trying soon. I made lo-carb crepes last night. Whoa, buddy. Also made them for the family & put jelly on top of theirs! My son said, "Mom, these are as good as IHOP!" Guess he couldn't tell they were healthy!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
